The boggies came to Hayfield yesterday.

Sadly a grey day, good riding and company though.

Nice pics, they work better in B&W. I just emailed mine direct to SFB.
After you left I rode Coldwell Clough with them then dropped down into Hayfield, they went off over Middle Moor direction.

wow, that first one is steep, the rider is very composed considering!

I was above him.

yeah, sorry, I couldn’t find the “tongue in cheek” icon. Nice pics though.

no hairy ass (or any ass) pic? not up to sfb standard

cool pics all the same 😉

I don’t remember it being THAT steep :o)

cheers Rich!

Who’s that guy with the crazy legs?

single? 😉

Very good Ed, I see what you did there… 😉

/waves at Aleigh.

hello there!

UNLUCKY……. 😉

’twas nice to meet you both, rest of the ride didn’t quite live up to the cheeky bit but some of the ruuty bits dropping down to Kinder Res were pretty good. Nice day out despite the sun never showing.

I can vouch for Crazy-legs climbing like a goat – when we took a shorter but steeper climb he cleared it and wasn’t even breathing heavily at the top, myself well I was hunting round for spare lungs.

single?

yes dear, but you only come up to his belly button…
so you’d both have to be lying down to have a conversation 🙂

one should point out that smokey_jo has destroyed much of his lungs by smerking 🙁

Hmm, this thread is heading downhill even more rapidly than Smokey_Jo managed! Sorry Aleigh, I’m spoken for anyway.

SFB: where are your pics from yesterday?

uh, sometimes I have other things to do than mess with photos 🙂 In due time they will appear, and I have several embarrassing ones of you :o)

it’s more that he’s unfeasibly tall 🙂 I’m sure you’re quite normally sized!

I’m sure you’re quite normally sized!

I am indeed 🙂

One more.

Hey, my shed of a bike looks OK in that 🙂

though I’ve noticed most of the air has leaked out of the forks again, so it was almost rigid 🙁

rich, stop it it is horrible.

for balance, here’s a shot of some hunky manflesh boldly taking the sissy track round a minor obstacle:

There are old bikers, there are bold bikers, but there are no old bold bikers by the looks of your photos SFB….

these are all callow STW bods out for a trip with evil Barnes in tow (except I was often near the front)

The faceplanter is fatgit (who isn’t)

(except I was often near the front)

Only cos we waited for you. 😉

😯 😕 😉 😆

SFB sorry I missed it yesterday, Im even more sorry that I missed Cutgate! The mighty deerstalker yesterday evening has left me almost immobile, I swear im not doing it again next year 😉

Only cos we waited for you.

I was talking about the Claife & Grizedale ride 2 or 3 weeks ago 🙂

Im even more sorry that I missed Cutgate!

me too! But I was already committed to leading the beginner ride 🙁

I swear im not doing it again next year

yes, Andrea said today it’s one of those things you only do once:o)
